Title: Establishing colocated second cell
Inventor: APPEL AMIR
IPC: H04W88/00
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: In a cellular communications network, it may be desirable for a large number of basestations to share one or a small number of scrambling codes. When a basestation identifies a desired scrambling code, which is also being used by another nearby basestation, steps are taken such that a location area update is triggered whenever a mobile communications device moves from a coverage area of the nearby basestation into a coverage area of said basestation. Further, the basestation establishes a first cell, using the desired scrambling code, and also establishes a second cell also served by the basestation, using a second scrambling code. By ensuring that mobile devices are preferentially served by the second cell, the possibility of interference with the nearby basestation is reduced.

Title: Multicasting data from a remote source to a plurality of data processing machines which report missing data to a local site master
Inventor: CHANG SOPHIE
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2008-11-07
Abstract: A data package is transmitted from a source to a plurality of data processing machines, spread over a plurality of sites, by means of a multicast. At each site, a local data processing machine is designated as a site master. The other local data processing machines report missing data portions to the site master and the site master consolidates reports of missing data portions and requests missing data portions from the source. The source then transmits the missing data portions to the plurality of data processing machines by means of a further multicast. If the site master receives a report of missing data that the site master has stored locally in a cache, the site master provides that missing data to the local machines by means of a site multicast. Also disclosed is an election process for designating one of the plurality of data processing machines as a site master.

Title: Process for the manufacture of cellulose ether esters
IPC: C08B13/00
Filed: 1929-03-28
Abstract: 331,903. Carpmael, A., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges).. March 28, 1929. Right to Patent relinquished. Cellulose ether-esters are prepared by acetylating with acetic anhydride in the present of acetic acid as solvent and a small quantity of a customary catalyst, a cellulose ether containing about 1/2 to 1 1/2 alkyl groups calculated on the molecule C6 H10 O5 and comprising a small proportion of benzyl cellulose. A cellulose ether which contains from about. 1/2 to 2 per cent of benzyl cellulose is preferably employed. Instead of benzyl cellulose a substituted benzyl derivative such as o-, m-, and particularly p-nitro- or bromo-benzyl cellulose may be used. It is stated that smaller quantities of catalyst may be employed in the acetylation than are usually required, for example, with sulphuric acid 0.1 to 3 per cent, and with zinc chloride 10 to 30 per cent calculated on the cellulose ether are sufficient. In an example, cellulose (cotton or wood pulp) is soaked in caustic soda solution and treated with ethyl and benzyl chlorides to give a monoethyl cellulose containing about 1 per cent of benzyl, which is then acetylated with acetic anhydride in the presence of acetic acid and sulphuric acid. The monoethyl-1 1/2-acetyl cellulose (containing about 1 per cent of benzyl) obtained, is soluble in acetone, acetic ether, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and may be used in the manufacture of films and artificial threads.

Title: Process for the manufacture of alkyl benzene sulphochlorides
IPC: C07C303/08
Filed: 1949-04-14
Abstract: Alkyl-benzene sulphonic acid chlorides are obtained by reacting alkylbenzene sulphonic acids, the alkyl group of which contains at least three carbon atoms, or the salts thereof, with chlorsulphonic acid.  The substituent alkyl radical may be propyl, iso- and n-butyl, iso-and n-octyl, decyl, dodecyl, and a -butyl-n-octyl.  The alkyl-benzene sulphonic acids may also carry further substituents, e.g. halogen atoms, methyl and ethyl groups and nitro groups.  The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a solvent, e.g. benzine and the reaction product may be purified by treating it in cooled condition with a concentrated solution of sodium chloride and then isolated by the addition of a solvent, such as ether which does not mix with water.  In examples: (1) decyl benzene is sulphonated with concentrated sulphuric acid and chlorsulphonic acid then added dropwise at 20 DEG  C. to yield the sulphochloride; (2) dodecyl benzene is treated as in (1); (3) decyl benzene is sulphonated as in (1) and a benzine fraction then added after which chlorsulphonic acid is added dropwise at 12-15 DEG  C. to yield the sulphochloride.
